Tomorrow is surgery day. The first of two. After about 3 weeks, I'll need to have a second operation to remove a screw that will be inserted to hold the thumb in place. This means my vacation in Montauk is in jeopardy and I won't be able to get a waterproof cast for the first 3 weeks after the surgery.

This sucks but not as much as not being able to use my left hand in the manner I'm accustomed to.

As detailedhere, my son took me down and I wound up hurting my thumb. How bad? I'm having surgery on Friday to repair the damage. Seems my fall resulted in my tearing a ligament in the thumb. Class three tear. If you're gonna do damage, might as well do it right. Normally, this would be nothing more than a nuisance but I'm going tuna fishing tomorrow and the boats have been hauling in the fish so the odds are in my favor that I'll be working the lines and pushing my luck with the thumb.

Of course, to quote my surgeon "you already fucked the thumb up, can't do more damage to the ligament now so bring me some steaks."

I've seen some bad shit in my life, horrific, embarrassing, reswallowing vomit type crap but nothing can hold a candle to The Jersey Shore. MTV should be banished from the air waves for putting this crap on tv. Even the State of New Jersey should be embarrassed to be associated with this tripe. Seriously, the armpit of the nation, the only stretch of highway where, if someone farts in the car, you roll the windows up.

That's right, I said it, a fart's refreshing in Jersey and, still, this show makes them look bad.

Lots of fun over a short period of time and my typing is is arduous thanks to a bit of horseplay with the boy. End result, I managed to get blamed for more of my sister's insanity, I can barely use my left hand and my member looks like an extra from the show Hair.
